An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a foldable housing, a communication circuit, a first transmission/reception circuit configured to transmit/receive a signal in a first frequency band, a first antenna electrically connected to the first transmission/reception circuit, and disposed on a portion of the first side member, a second transmission/reception circuit configured to transmit/receive a signal in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, a second antenna electrically connected to the second transmission/reception circuit, and disposed on a portion of the first side member, a sensor configured to detect a contact of a user's body portion, and a processor. The processor may be configured to cause the first transmission/reception circuit to be electrically connected to the second antenna such that the signal in the first frequency band is transmitted/received through the second antenna when the contact of the user's body portion is detected by the sensor.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to control the switch such that the first amplifier and the first antenna are electrically connected to each other when the contact of the user's body portion is not detected through the sensor.
5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the second antenna is a conductive portion disposed on at least a portion of the second side surface.
6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are separated from each other due to a non-conductive portion.
8. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein a position where the sensor is disposed is a position adjacent to the one end of the first antenna in the first side surface.
17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the second antenna is a conductive portion disposed on at least a portion of the second side surface.
18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are separated from each other due to a non-conductive portion.
